DISPLAY BECEP'IACLE.

Application filed February 25, 1922. Serial No. 539,127.

To alt whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN ROSENBERG, a citizen of the United States, residin at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and tate of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.

' My invention relates to improvements in receptacles, of cardboard or analogous maof the ox body and embrace opposite sides of the latter for the purpose of preventing possible relative lateral movement of either cover or body portions with respect to each other When the receptacle is in closed or open position. It is the principal object of the invention to provide such a receptacle comprising a single blank whichshall be cut and scored and capable of being foldedto form a body portionfand a cover therefor; the body having its side walls folded upon themselves to rovide open under edges and an end proection integral with the cover; the latter being provided with side walls which extend to a point short of the free 'end of the cover and which embrace the folded side walls of the box body when the cover is moved to closed position and project into the space between the'open' edges of the latter side walls when the box is sup orted in inclined display position; the e ect of such a constructionbeing directed towards preventing sidewise movement of the supporting cover relative to the body itself.

The preferred embodiment of the invention is illustratively exemplified in the accompanying drawing, wherein Flg. 1 is a view of the development of the cardboard blank, cut and scored and prior to being folded to form a receptacle.

\ Figs. 2 and 3 are (perspective views of the folded box in close and display positions. Figs. 4 and 5 are substantially longitudi-.

nal sectional views of the receptacle showing the cover in closed and supporting positions.

Referr ngdparticularly to Fig. 1 the blank of cardboar is cut and creased to form a bottom section 10, two side wall sections 11 and 12, end wall sections 13 and 14 and a cover section 15 extending from the section 13 and having an end flap 16; The opposite end wall 14 has an'integral flap 17 which is creased at 18 between itself and the wall 14 to permit a movable connection between the two sections.

Each of the side wall sections 11 and 12, has a longitudinal crease 19 which divides the section into two portions a and b, the latter being disposed on the outside is prov ded with slit tongues 20 projecting from opposite ends thereof and beyond the ends of the portion a. In order to engage the slit tongues carried by side wall sections 11 and 12 with each other, it willbe noted that it is the left edge, of each tongue, which is slit. The tongues themselves are divided from the ortions b by creases 21 extending transverse y thereof.

The cover section 15 comprises a top section 22 havingthe portion adjacent the body of the blank provided with parallel transverse creases 23 by means of which the remaining portion of the cover may be folded above or beneath the box. The outermost one of the creases 23 extends to a point short of the edges of the section 22 and from the ends ofthe crease thecardboard is cut through to the edges. At the inner ends of these cuts a pair of converging cuts 24 project toward the central portion of the cover section and to a transverse crease 25 extending between the inner ends of the cuts 24:. The blank port-ion forming the cover sec tion 15 is substantial] the same width as that of the bottom section 10 until-it reaches a point slightly beyond the crease 25 where the blank widens to form right angle corners 26. The general parallel sides of the cover 15 before reaching the corners 26, are projected toward the end of the cover and beyond the corners by creases 27 by means of which the corners 26 and extending V 28 may be movably connected to t e main to section 22 to form the sides of the; cover. A jacent the end of the wide port on of the cover section 15 the latter is provided w th a transverse crease 29 and from the omt where the creases 27 and 29 meet the is cut through to the outer end, -thereof.to form the flap 16. The rtiona of -the sides 28 extendin beyond e 29 formtongues 30, right edges.

The blanks may be handled in the fiat until ready to be folded into'box form, an operation carried out in the follow ng manner:

First, the side wall sections 11 and 12 are turned to upright position and then folded along the creases 19 to brmgthe outer portions Z2 against the inner .portionsa on the outside of the box. The end sections 13 and 14 are raised to upright positions and the two airs of tongues 20 interengaged outside of the end sections by overlapp ng the portions of the tongues beyond the sl ts. The flap 17 is then folded towards the interior of the box along the crease 18, to a position level with the top of the side walls 11 and 12 or at an incline, as shown in Figures 3 and 5. The sides 28 and fia 16 of the cover section 15 are then turne to upright positions along the creases 27 and 29 and the tongues 30 interenga over the flap 16. The top section 22 is turned on the crease 25 so that when the cover is moved into position to cover the box the portion of material between the two slits or cuts 24 will fold under the top 22 and lie parallel with the u per edge of the side walls 11 and 12 and beneath the top section 22, as shown in Figure 4. In this position it will noted that the sides of the cover 15 embrace the outside of the side walls 11 and 12 of the box body.

When the receptacle is to be opened and supported in display position, as shown in Figures 3 and 5, the cover 15 isswung about the creases 23 until the portion of the top 22 adjacent the end of the body lies against the outer side of the overlapping tongues 20 and the cut in portion between the two converging cuts 24 is turned beneath the bottom 10 of the box. This portion between the two cuts 24 will remain on a plane level with the top section 22, a plane which it will be assumed is horizontal. The closed end of the cover section 15 will receive the bottom 10 of the box and support the latter in an inclined position. In order that cover section 15 and the. box section ma be prevented from moving sidewise with respect to each other the corner projections 26 of the sides 28 are projected into the space between the portions a and b of the side walls 11 and 12, as illustrated in Figaving a slit 31 cutjiinto their mg lateral extensions ca These corners 26 may be permitted to embrace the outer face of the walls 11 and 12 when the box is supported in display position, but it has been found that by providin the walls on each side of the single py side walls 28, the supporting strengt creased.

Having now described my invention, I claim 1. A receptacle comprising a body havable of being folded longitudinally thereo to form side walls, the latter being collapsed u on themselves and capable of being unite at their ends, and a cover hinged midway of its length and being movably and integrally connected to one end of said body and pro vided with .lateral extensions capable of being folded with respect to the cover and united at their ends, said extensions projecting to a point short of the length of said cover and capable of embracing the opposite side walls of the body when the cover is moved into position to cover the body of the box or into position beneath the body to elevate the latter.

2. A receptacle comprising a body, a cover and a connecting member movably connecting the cover to one end of said body, said connecting member having transverse cuts extending inwardly from opposite edges and a pair of converging cuts extending from the inner ends of the transverse cuts to a transverse crease in the body of the cover, whereby the cover may be moved into position to cover the box and the connecting member folded beneath the cover along the said transverse crease or moved into position to hold the bod elevated and t e connecting member olded over the end of the box and along a crease between the transverse cuts.

3. A receptacle comprising a body and a cover hinged midway of its length and movably connected to one end thereof, said body being provided with side walls folded upon themselves to form pockets alon the lower ed es of the body, said cover ing provi ed with upstanding end and side walls, the side walls being capable of movement into said pockets w en the cover is moved into positlon beneath the body and being further adapted to embrace the sides of the body when the cover is moved into position above the body to cover the latter, said end wall being capable of moving into sition to support the body in an incline die play position when the cover is folded beneath the said body.

4. A receptacle oomprisin a blank having a bottom section provi ed with sides and ends, said sides being creased longitudinally thereof and a cover section having a scored line by which the cover is movably of the latter walls is greatly injoined to one of the bottom ends, the said cover being Provided with a. top section having latera projections extendin longitudinally thereof and to a point s ort of the scored line, said projections havin slit tongues at their outer ends, the cover ing creased along a line parallel to the said scored line and terminated at opposite ends in cuts extending outwardly to theedges of the blank and a pair of cuts extending from 10 BENJAMIN ROSENBERG.
